fly upwind of the cell at a distance of 1nm per 1knot of actual wind.
This doesn't really make any sense...

With no wind, any hail spewed out of the cloud could go in ANY direction. With a strong wind, it would tend to be blown downwind. Also, in the jet stream you avoid all cells by 100-200 NM upwind? I don't think so...
